Hi,
There could be several problems:
1. Check which dictionary established as main in AutoCAD: type DCTMAIN at the command prompt and look what you get. It should be "enu" by default.
2. Check AutoCAD->Preferences->Application tab-> Support File Search Path: "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents/Resources/Support" folder should be in it
3. This step depends on #1, if for example you have DCTMAIN="enu", then go to "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents/Resources/Support" folder (go to Application folder, find AutoCAD.app in it, right-click on it and select "Show package contents", then navigate to "Contents/Resources/Support" folder) and find enu.dct file in it, it should be there.
